I have been working with young people in education since 2010 across a wide variety of schools and settings, principally as a primary teacher and later as an SEN secondary teacher. More recently this has included work as an SEN teaching assistant.

I am passionate about learning and driven to make a positive change in the lives of those around me. Venture Academy gives me the opportunity to challenge both myself and the pupils to improve each day, all within the context of a tolerant, supportive and caring community.

In my spare time I enjoy climbing mountains, camping and generally exploring and enjoying nature.
